In a meeting of the CCI members held here today under the chairmanship of Y V Sharma its president, the Chamber took strong note of the shortage of LPG cylinders in Jammu city and its surroundings. It pointed out that people were relentless and long queues are often seen at the LPG out lets to get LPG supply and so called verification. The men kept in home delivery have also been engaged in this exercise and the general public has been left to suffer.
It is unfortunate that the people responsible for ensuring proper supply are watching this entire chaos and crisis, without any concern. The LPG is very essential and no household can do without this item in the kitchen.
CCI president said that Oil companies have asked all consumers to get the documents verified and updated from the concerned LPG dealers in order to continue getting cooking gas. The LPG dealers do not have much staff and infrastructure to go for verification process. This problems should be attended lest the people come on the roads and create law and order problem.
Mr Sharma said that Chamber won’t remain a mute spectator to the miseries of the common people and it may go for Jammu bandh if the things remained same in next couple of days. He further urged the Government to provide 12 subsidized cylinders instead of six to the people of this State keeping in view the climatic conditions here.
